A web service failed to be invoked and ADB exception is thrown for IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Version 8.0

Troubleshooting

Problem

When performing an outbound web service call developed on IBM Business Process Manager V8.0, the web servcie invocation failed with an ADB error message.

Symptom

The following exceptions are seen in the error stack trace:

com.lombardisoftware.core.TeamWorksException:
org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBException: Unexpected subelement El3
at
com.lombardisoftware.core.TeamWorksException.asTeamWorksException(TeamWorksException.java:136)
at
com.lombardisoftware.core.RegexExceptionRewriter.rewrite(RegexExceptionRewriter.java:76)
at
com.lombardisoftware.core.ExceptionHandler.returnProcessedException(ExceptionHandler.java:311)
at
com.lombardisoftware.servlet.ControllerServlet.doError(ControllerServlet.java:163)
at
com.lombardisoftware.servlet.ControllerServlet.doCommon(ControllerServlet.java:488)
at
com.lombardisoftware.servlet.ControllerServlet.doGet(ControllerServlet.java:131)
...

And the generated web service message looks as below,

<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:testService xmlns:ns1="http://service.bpmwebservice.com">
<ns1:mBOParaSchema>
<ns0:EL1 xmlns:ns0="http://schema.bpmwebservice.com/xsd"/>
<ns0:EL2 xmlns:ns0="http://schema.bpmwebservice.com/xsd"/>
<ns1:EL3 xmlns:ns0="http://schema.bpmwebservice.com/xsd"/>
...

Cause

The generated web service message namespace is not recognized by the service provider when it is being parsed even though the message schema is valid XML. The XML Serializer does not work as expected; therefore, the web service invocation fails with the previous exceptions.
